Tasting notes

Steep one

• Floral scent comes up immediately upon adding hot water
• Pale yellow liquor with very floral scent, slightly vegetal undertone
• Has a very mild creamy taste/mouthfeel i associate with Jin Xuan oolong, with a floral aftertaste that lingers
• Smooth, no bitterness or astringency. Almost sweet in places.
• If the Nearly Nirvana had tasted like this, I might have liked it more
